Game 68, Giants at Mariners

Felix Hernandez vs. Madison Bumgarner, 1:10pm

Happy Fathers Day to all of my fellow dads out there. And hey, check it out: the M’s got us a Felix Hernandez start. I could nitpick and point out that this isn’t one of the old-school Felix starts, where everything was put together right out of the box, and you could just marvel at it from the first pitch. These days, Felix requires bizarre mechanical adjustments using tools I don’t have and instructions I don’t understand. But that’s the thing with Felix – even legitimate complaints start to sound entitled and churlish: it’s Fathers Day, and Felix is pitching. This is pretty damned awesome.

Madison Bumgarner’s a young lefty with a four-seam fastball
